Game Changer

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Love this product so far! It's changed my skin in only half a use. Waiting to really up my game and move to 1.0 and then I will know whether it's worthy of 5 stars. It's helped with some redness, and blemishes thus far. I'm not a huge fan of not being able to see how much is in the bottle so that's why I'm rating it 3 stars. The pumps usually give out and you end up with less. I prefer a metal squeeze tube.

Nice so far

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I was a little scared at first because i had read before that retinol products are a bit harsh. I am 33 yrs and a skincare product junkie so i still had to try it (i am not getting any younger but would love to avoid looking older!). I must say, so far its a great product. My skin drinks it very well. I dont feel it harsh.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I started using this product about a year ago and haven't stopped! It has dramatically improved my complexion and I couldn't be happier! If I could give this product more than 5 stars I would!

Great medium Retinol strength

SkinMedica is my go to Retinol serum. I typically use the 1.0 but I have been experiencing more dryness. I switched to the .05 and I am very happy with it.

Good product with smooth finish. I would recommend this product, especially if you're starting a new skincare regimen because it is easy to incorporate.

Working great so far!

Has worked well. I have been using for 2-3 weeks and have noticed a difference. It has not dried me out too bad. I use it with a drugstore brand moisturizer.

Great Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product was recommended by my dermatologist and I have been using it for 2 years. It works slowly but well, with out irritating my skin or being too harsh. Get a good moisturizer to use on top. Great packaging / pump, dispenses the perfect amount.
